About the Role
Pump.co is hiring its first X Content Writer (Onsite in SF, Monday-Friday) to take the lead on our brand voice across X, LinkedIn, and the platforms that matter most to founders, engineers, and operators.
This isn’t a generic social role. We’re looking for a prolific, sharp writer who lives online, understands how tech culture moves, and has built a strong personal presence. You’ll turn product updates, founder POVs, and startup ideas into highly shareable content — and help define how the world sees Pump.
This is a high-impact, creative, and strategic role reporting directly to the founders.
What You’ll Do
- Write and manage daily content for X and LinkedIn — from memes and threads to deep dives and narrative-style founder posts
- Own the social calendar and voice: plan, write, and post across channels with speed and clarity
- Work directly with founders to shape and amplify their voices — from product drops to founder takes
- Translate technical launches and updates into high-leverage, plain-English content
- Monitor trends in startups, infra, VC, and AI — and help Pump enter the conversation with insight and wit
- Engage in threads, join conversations, and react in real-time to relevant moments
- Track growth KPIs (impressions, shares, engagement, follower count) and double down on what works
- Write everything from X hooks to LinkedIn carousels to launch copy and “in-public” updates
What We’re Looking For
- At least 20,000 followers on X. You’ve built an audience by writing consistently high-quality content
- 2–5 years experience in content or social marketing (at a tech startup, creator brand, newsletter, or media org)
- Excellent writing skills — short-form, long-form, and everything in between
- Deep understanding of tech/startup X and how ideas travel online
- Confident turning founder thoughts and product news into polished, high-performing posts
- Familiar with tools like Figma, Canva, Notion, or social schedulers (but you don’t rely on them to write)
- Self-motivated, fast-moving, and highly organized — you take a blank doc and ship consistently
- Bonus: You’ve ghostwritten for a founder or built a recognizable content brand
- Bonus: You’re comfortable jumping into DMs, replies, and live engagement
Why Join Pump
- Build the public voice of a breakout infra startup with serious traction
- Work directly with founders, engineers, and early customers
- Competitive salary + early equity
- Premium healthcare benefits
- 32 vacation days + unlimited sick leave
- Company-paid quarterly retreats
- Startup-level velocity + actual appreciation for writers
